"The young Greek woman's expressive gestures spurred the musicians on to emotionally focused and precise playing. From the very start, she captured the audience's attention with Ravel's elegant, extended elegy Pavane pour une infante morte. A dance-like grace characterised the ballet suite Ma mere l'oye, also by Ravel, as interpreted by the young Greek conductor. She struck a thoroughly natural, narrative note for the folk-tales. No less sensuous and sculptural for the ear were the sounds she evoked of the mysterious glow of Debussy's tonal painting for the piano."
